The book shows forest resourcesassessments and monitoring and provides links to practical applications of forest and natural resource assessment programs. It gives an overview of current forest inventorysystems and discusses forest mensuration, sampling techniques, remote sensing applications, geographic and forest information systems, and multi-resource forest inventory.
